BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The field of generating virtual experiences to help visualize spaces istechnologically important to several industries, business organizationsand/or individuals.

Existing techniques for generating 3D virtual experiences based on 2Dinput data are deficient with regard to several aspects.
